Sal Marino is a connoisseur of fun. Known as the “Founder
of The Funism Art Movement”, Marino’s unique vision of the world is punctuated by a wry and sometimes cryptic
observation of every day life. He is a humorist, an artist, a photographer, a musician, a writer, a poet, a businessman, a
lover, a father, an observer, a participant and most importantly, a ‘Funist’. Through his youthful beginnings in the music
industry and art world, accomplishments in the field of Marketing and Advertising, an ‘up and down’ career on
Wall Street, with later significant successes in the entrepreneurial business world, Marino has forged a strong creative foundation
upon which the building blocks of an eclectic, yet distinctive point of view are rooted. Recent manifestations of Marino’s creative
energies and talents are represented in the reflective, humorous and sometimes self-deprecating accounts of past experiences
with, friends, strangers and lovers alike in his recent book;
Guy Talk, Girl Talk

Marino’s nostalgic look at sexual yearnings, unfulfilled love, brushes with fame and accounts
of not so ordinary oddities are the mechanism by which the reader is drawn to the reflective surface of his subject matter.
We all can see a bit of ourselves in Marino’s stories, whether it is from the point of view of the protagonist or the
many diverse personalities (some recognizable) who are represented therein. The author allows a glimpse through the window
of his experience, and subsequently our own, suggesting that we each have reflective, sometimes dark and perhaps equally amusing
stories to tell. Marino’s
current ‘works in progress’ include “Net.Date” - a humorous window on the world of middle age cyber
dating, and “The Marriage Myth” - a humorous account of the pitfalls of modern marriage.
